Navy to Demonstrate Potential of Solar-Supplied Hydrogen

Proton Energy Systems announced in late January its award of a
U.S. Navy contract to develop a regenerative fuel cell system
powered by solar electricity. The system will use a solar electric
system as a source of power during daylight hours, while also using
some of the sunlight to generate hydrogen. At night, the system will
use the hydrogen to power the fuel cell, allowing the system to
continue to produce electricity. Proton Energy will install the
system at the Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake in California.
